Drummer and St. Charles native Dave Weckl is coming home to present a drum clinic at 7:00 p.m., Monday, October 13 at the St. Louis Airport Hilton, 10330 Natural Bridge Rd.

The event is sponsored by Fred Pierce Studio Drum Shop, which was a frequent hangout for Weckl (pictured) during his teenage years. It's one of a series of clinics Weckl will be doing next month, and will be followed by stops in New York, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.

Weckl's latest recording, Of The Same Mind, was released earlier this month, and features an acoustic band with bassist and fellow St. Louisan Tom Kennedy, keyboardist Makuto Ozone and bassist Gary Meek.

Tickets for the Dave Weckl drum clinic are $20 each and can be purchased at Fred Pierce's and, if seats are still available, at the door.
